Spread That Positivity

Positivity, am I right?

Lately, I have been on a positivity kick. And it is kinda fun! So here is a list of ways for you guys to also spread the good feels and positivity and all that good stuff!

1. Smile.

Smiles, like yawns, are contagious. But unlike yawns, they brighten everyone's mood.

2. Laugh.

Laughter, such as yawns and smiles, are also contagious. And who cares if you have a weird laugh! It makes it that more infectious.

3. Compliment strangers.

Dude, if I see a girl rocking a cute outfit or a guy's eyebrows are on point, I cannot go without complimenting them! It is the best feeling. You don't know them, but they will always remember that compliment.

4. Say hi to everyone.

This is an awesome way to start the day. Not just yours, but everyone you see! Just a small greeting can brighten someone's day. Plus, it is a great exercise to break out of your shell!

5. Help lost people.

If you see someone lost or confused, go help them! They're going to be flustered and stressed. Lending a helping hand can do wonders. If you were in their position, wouldn't you want someone to come help you?

6. Make small talk with strangers.

Take the chance. Get to know someone. Make a new friend. Let someone know that they are worth the conversation.

7. Carry spare change or extra cash.

THIS. You have no idea how important this one is and can be. Nobody wants to go through the shameful "rummaging through the wallet" moment to find enough money for lunch. I have been there. It is not a great feeling. If you see someone who is struggling, offer to cover their meal. It'll make their day and it won't be a moment to forget. For the both of you.

8. Sit with a lone stranger for lunch.

Sure eating lunch by yourself can be relaxing. However, if you take the initiative to eat with someone new, it will be life changing! I remember there were days that I wouldn't eat lunch because all my friends were too busy and I didn't want to sit alone. Beat the stigma of eating alone and go sit with a stranger. Make a friend.

9. Be nice to everyone.

Seriously. Do I have to explain? Don't be dumb and a jerk. Words hurt!

10. Write a note.

Just write an anonymous note, wishing for someone to have a great day, reminding them that they matter, or a compliment on their smile.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
